Houston Artificial Grass - Houston Synthetic Grass

Synthetic turf, commonly known as artificial grass, is a grass-like
surface engineered to mimic that of a natural grass lawn. It is
manufactured using all man-made materials. Throughout the years,
synthetic grass has been installed for a wide spectrum of uses. This
includes household and business landscaping, putting greens, and
sports fields.

Warranty

Most
products carry an 8 or 10 year no fade warranty. All product is
guaranteed against manufacturer defect. If we install the turf, you
get a one year warranty on the install.

Before one decides to make the big decision to choose artificial
turf over natural grass, there are many factors, they should
consider before going forward. The main element that buyers should
pay special attention to be cost, as the return on investment is
definitely something to keep in mind.

The bulk of the cost
of synthetic grass is comprised of basic surface materials,
seaming glues and tapes, infill, base materials and possibly rodent
control barriers. Other accessories can include trim materials and
design specific features. Also, the type of turf (field, sports,
putting green pet, etc) and any lawn specific extras (UV protection,
fiber qualities, etc) factors into the pricing of artificial
grass.

Another important
factor one must determine when looking to purchase and install
artificial turf is the space in which they choose to do, as
wholesale materials can run the range between two to five dollars
per square foot.

Let us look at the many ways in which one is likely to save money
over this time span, by choosing synthetic turf over traditional grass. The primary cost
saving benefit of artificial grass over natural grass is found in
the minimal maintenance and upkeep.

Since synthetic grass doesnít have to be watered, lawn owners
automatically save money on water bills, as expensive sprinkler
systems become a thing of the past. With the ability to withstand
extreme weather conditions, including intense heat, synthetic grass
does not require extra water like regular grass during the summer
time months.

It is even estimated that artificial grass owners (for larger
spaces) save and conserve on average at least 22,000 gallons of
water per year.

Additionally, artificial grass
eliminates the use of lawn mowers and with these trimming appliances
ranging in price from two hundred to thousands of dollars; the cost
of tending to natural grass adds up. Also factor in gas for these
appliances, and lawn owners are faced with many added costs that
more than add up.

For those that manage the upkeep of their lawns themselves, they
still have a high return on investment, as they do not have to
regularly purchase the costly supplies one needs to tend to regular
grass. These synthetic lawn owners will save money by no longer
having to purchase expensive fertilizers and weed killing chemicals,
as well as new seeds for planting when natural grass roots and
deteriorates over time.

For homeowners that do not maintain their own landscaping, synthetic
turf lawns and fields more than pay for themselves, as the minimal
upkeep means that it is no longer necessary to retain the weekly or
bi-weekly services of a regular gardener.

Also, the durability of synthetic turf allows the lawn to maintain a
fresh, green and lush appearance compared to natural grass.
Therefore the choice to use artificial grass for landscaping
purposes allows one to retain higher property values over a number
of years. As outlined above, it has become increasingly evident that
the multiple cost saving benefits more than outweigh the initial
costs of installing synthetic grass. This is apparent, as some
estimates have shown that many artificial grass projects are likely
to pay for themselves within an 18-month time span.

Artificial Turf for Equestrian Use

From dressage and vaulting to show jumping and polo, equestrianism
envelops a variety of leisure activities and sports in which horses
are trained and used. Rooted in the domestication of horses for
transportation, trade, and farming, equestrians today are able to
exhibit prowess, skill, and camaraderie between animal and man.

For many riding sports, designated surfaces are strategically
utilized in order to enhance performance and remain durable.

For equestrian use, stringent standards must be met for surfaces.
This is because the nature of riding involves wear and tear
throughout time that is much quicker than that of regular leisure
activities and sports. The use of horses creates extensive wear that
can potentially corrode.

Natural grass surfaces require meticulous maintenance in order to
create a safe and durable field for riding. With seasonal changes,
it can prove to be a challenge to maintain under climate
fluctuations and weather conditions.

Because of the challenge to keep natural grass surfaces up to par
for equestrian use, a wonderful alternative that continues to be
used today is artificial turf. This surface is so ideal for
equestrian use because it is engineered to last and requires minimal
upkeep in comparison to a natural grass surface.

For horse riding sports, strength and maintenance are two
significant factors. The benefits are impressive when switching from
natural to synthetic grass, especially for equestrianism.

For polo, the field is approximately 300 yards by 160 yards,
equaling the size of nine American football fields. Imagine the
amount of water and upkeep a single polo field requires! Since a
single football requires about a quarter inch of water each day,
along with approximately 150 pounds of phosphorus and 250 pounds of
potassium fertilizer each year, when multiplied by nine, the figures
become overwhelming.

The amazing thing about synthetic turf is the fact that it does not
need a single drop of water, mowing, nor does it need chemicals or
added fertilizers to remain green and lush. Once installed, it is
durable, lasting, and low maintenance.

Artificial turf comes in a variety of uses for riding and
equestrians. This includes landscape covering of hedges and jumps,
spectator area landscaping, crumb rubber for indoor dressage areas,
and surfacing for horseboxes. Other uses include pathways, mounting
and loading bays, ramps, arena landscaping, and stable landscaping.

With its state-of-the-art manufacturing process, modern turf
products are both shock absorbent and slip resistant, which aid in
optimal performance for both riders and horses. Comfort and quality
make synthetic grass the ideal surface for horses.

With its poly/nylon-blended construction, each blade can withstand
moderate and heavy amounts of traffic for any equestrian sport.
Throughout the seasons, as they come and go, it lasts throughout
time, even through heat and snow. It is nontoxic and safe for
horses, and also has a drainage system for liquid and urine.

Above all, cleanup is simple and easy. Artificial grass continues to
be the idyllic equestrian surface due to its ability to hold up
throughout time, minimal maintenance, water-saving characteristics,
and safety for both riders and horses alike.

Installation of Turf

There are 3 steps to installing the turf:

Prep
your ground

Make sure your ground is
draining to the proper direction. Make sure the ground is level and
you have removed or cut off all irrigation heads. Remove any
organics or existing grass in the area. More soil or mechanical
equipment may be necessary to pre the area prior to installation.

Under Grass
Preparation
Does the area need a cushion laid to allow a softer surface? Place
weed block in areas of seams. Place weed block in areas around
trees. Place weed block in edge areas.

Install
Turf

Need to nail down
the turf into the prepped soil area. Need to knit seams together.
Need to cut the turf to fit the area of service. Need to top dress
the turf with sand or odor material for pet areas. Need to brush the
grass to allow it to spring to action.

The Do It Yourself Person can
install this type of grass on their own. There are many You Tube
Videos that demonstrate how to install this turf. But for the person
not so inclined, we do offer professional installation.

The cost is on a job by job
basis due to the many different variables and customer preferences.
